## Skip LLM setup during install

Fabro installs no longer require LLM credentials up front. The web installer has an explicit "Skip LLM setup" action, and the CLI supports the same flow for non-interactive installs.

```bash
fabro install --non-interactive --skip-llm --github-strategy token --github-username acme-dev
```

Skipping marks the LLM step complete without writing provider secrets. Later LLM-dependent workflows still fail with the normal provider-not-configured behavior until credentials are added.

## Daytona volume mounts

Fabro-managed Daytona sandboxes can now attach existing Daytona volumes from run configuration. This gives workflows a provider-owned place for persistent state such as credentials, caches, datasets, or other files that should survive ephemeral sandbox lifecycles.

```toml
[[run.sandbox.daytona.volumes]]
volume_id = "vol_123"
mount_path = "/home/daytona/.cache"
```

Fabro does not create or manage the volume lifecycle. Create the volume in Daytona first, then reference its `volume_id` from workflow, project, or user run settings.
